Question

  1. name 2 figures for which a circle can be a cross section.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A cross - section is the shape we get when we cut through a three - dimensional figure. A sphere, no matter where we make a cross - section (as long as it's a plane cut), the cross - section will be a circle because all points on the sphere are equidistant from the center. For a cylinder, if we make a cross - section that is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, the cross - section will be a circle. The base of the cylinder is a circle, and a perpendicular cut to the axis will reveal this circular base - like shape.

Answer:

  1. Sphere
  2. Cylinder
